Etsh Project (V6Shell)

Description - V6 Thompson Shell Ports

The Etsh Project provides two ports of the original
/bin/sh from Sixth Edition (V6) UNIX
(circa 1975).
I, J.A. Neitzel,
develop and maintain this project.
I sign releases with the signify key pair declared on the Etsh Signify Key page.

Etsh(1) is an
enhanced, backward-compatible port of the
Sixth Edition Thompson shell.
Tsh(1) is an unenhanced port
of the shell, and glob(1)
is a port of its global command.
Together, tsh and glob provide a user interface which is
backward compatible with that provided by the Sixth Edition
Thompson shell and global command, but without the obvious
enhancements found in etsh.

The original Thompson shell was principally written by Ken Thompson of Bell Labs.

Please contact me if you have any
comments or questions about this software.
Bug reports are certainly welcome, but please try upgrading
to the latest release before reporting any bug
as it may have already been fixed.

Notes

The Thompson shell's command language is a predecessor and subset
of that found in the Bourne shell and C shell. The Thompson shell's
external utilities complement the basic functionality of its command
language. Since the Thompson shell initially set the stage for basic
UNIX-shell functionality, all modern UNIX shells still have a great
deal in common with it.

The NOTES file contains further information
about these ports of the shell. In addition, here are some example
shell scripts (aka command files) which
may help to illustrate some of their capabilities. Last but not least,
here are some
Example RC Files, which may help the user wishing to use
etsh interactively, better understand how to configure
the shell and its environment.
